SETTING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
ION is the leading provider of highly reliable vibrators and energy source controllers. Our years of experience in designing and manufacturing vibrators have resulted in durability, ease of maintenance and more efficient operations in all terrains.
AHV-IV & AHV-IV RENEGADE - THE INDUSTRY WORKHORSES
ION's AHV-IV and AHV-IV Renegade set the standard for tire and track-based vibrator products in the seismic industry today. They are widely recognized by contractors worldwide as the "industry workhorses," and are acknowledged for their dependable, low maintenance design that consistently delivers high quality vibroseis technology in all terrains.
The AHV-IV and AHV-IV Renegade were designed with features that make them reliable and easy to maintain, even in demanding acquisition environments:
- 60,000 or 80,000 pounds of peak force
- Interchangeable tire or track capacity
- Simplified infield maintenance and troubleshooting
- High-capacity hydraulic cooling
- Advanced reaction mass assembly
- Reduced hoses and fittings to simplify maintenance and ease troubleshooting
Additional features ensure the safety of crews involved in the acquisition operation:
- Simplified operator controls
- Articulated, oscillated steering
- Certified roll-over protection
- Low center of gravity
AHV-IV COMMANDER - RAISING THE BAR ON QUALITY DATA
Building upon the solid design features of the AHV-IV vibrators, the AHV-IV Commander is our newest vibrator that delivers:
- A more accurate weighted-sum estimate
- Increased energy output
- Broader bandwidth
- Greater source repeatability over a variety of terrains
- Lower harmonic distortion
XVib - The Standard for Tundra and Desert Environments
The XVib is the industry preference for highly versatile, heavy duty articulated track chassis vibrators. These features and its superior mobility and maneuverability make this the vibrator of choice for Arctic - tundra and desert - operations.
The XVib's superior maneuverability results in more shots per day by minimizing productivity-reducing challenges in the acquisition operation:
- 60,000 or 80,000 pounds of peak force
- Fully suspended, cushioned undercarriage
- Articulated steering provides simple turning and navigation
Seismic acquisition operations are inherently risky, presenting contractors and oil & gas companies with numerous health, safety and environmental (HSE) challenges. The XVib was designed to mitigate these HSE risks and support cost-effective surveys with the highest operational integrity:
- Lower ground pressure reduces impact on sensitive terrain
- Articulated steering minimizes damage on delicate Arctic tundra
